Device should I buy for local AI setup

r/LocalLLaMA
Generative AI

Hey I am new to this and I want to build side projects on my macbook air using local AI model setup. I tried ollama on some models and it cooked my machine as expected. What should I buy to start using local AI models. My budget is $1K currently, should I increase it? I was thinking of MacMini but I am not sure what configuration I should buy. submitted by /u/Beautiful_Throat_884 [link] [comments]
